Today was your lucky day John. I’m happy for you, and relieved for your loved ones. Best wishes in your new life that started with the helicopter lift!
We were dragging of the south shore of RI when we heard the call on 16. I came in early and went on line at home to follow the search effort. I checked later in the afternoon and found out that he had been rescued…. such a wonderful feeling for John, his family and the Coast Guard and all the others that participated in the search.
Once again a life is saved, a prayer is answered. Thanks to all, its a comfort to know that the men and women of the Coast Guard are Semper Paratus !!
Is he single?
